显露的秘密政府IRA链接的程度
星期二， 2008年3月18日
一秘密20年“后面渠道”的充分的程度在英国的政府和IRA之间由托尼·布莱尔的前参谋长今天显露，宣称和平进程不也许已经是可能的没有链接。 在链接的第一个权威的帐户由英国的官员，乔纳森Powell告诉监护人Derry商人、Brendan Duddy和一系列的MI5和MI6官员在私有冒他们的生活的风险允许英国的政府和IRA领导沟通在1973年和1993年之间。 In the latest extracts from his memoirs, serialised in the Guardian this week, Powell writes: 当那些小组是寂静的杀害无辜的人民时， “承认谈话与恐怖分子小组民主政府是非常坚硬的。 “幸运地为这个过程，英国的政府的后面渠道对临时IRA是存在，每当从1973年要求向前”。 秘密链接只使用了三个主要场合： 谈判一次IRA停火在70年代中期; 1980年在第一IRA绝食期间; 并且进入和平进程的早期在90年代。 但Powell写道，事实链接从领导对唐宁街的IRA存在了-主要通过Duddy和他的MI6经理迈克尔Oatley -是巨大的意义。 Powell写道： “它，隐喻地，在一个锁着的箱子包含了，钥匙是为Brendan Duddy所具有和在哪些之后，无论哪里他偶然是在世界上，是Oatley，为IRA所知作为`爬山者’”。 1993年链接划分了，当马丁McGuinness， Sinn F时？在首要谈判员，愤怒地起反应到要求他传送了信息据称说IRA “冲突是”。 Duddy在今天监护人出版的采访告诉BBC的彼得·泰勒，他被询问了四个小时由四“非常资深Provisionals”，在他错误地被怀疑传送信息之后。 Powell承认消息在争执，但他说它放置了地面为和平进程。 “什么在做成功的那则消息，配齐或没有，是得到英国的政府的注意。 约翰少校真正地认为： ‘Gosh, here is a chance that we can make a breakthrough in Northern Ireland’.” The DUP leader, Ian Paisley, condemned Major for the secret back channel when it was revealed in 1993. But Powell reveals in his memoirs that 10 years later the DUP established its own secret channel to Sinn F?in when Paisley’s party won the elections to the Northern Ireland assembly of 2003. The channel was kept secret because the DUP refused to meet Sinn F?in at the time on the grounds that the IRA was still active. Powell says: “They [the DUP] were no different from the British government at the time of John Major or Margaret Thatcher saying they never had contacts with the IRA - but actually [they were] doing so as well. It did play an important role in making possible that extraordinary meeting between Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams. They had never met, they had never spoken until they sat down for that photo-opportunity in March 2007. If you hadn’t had that back channel building confidence over time, it would have been difficult.” Have Your Say: Extent of secret Government IRA links revealed Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
